There was some wheat sold to day at

The principal wool markets a year ago
had gone through q period Of activity
following the appearance CT the new clip
and were becoming quieter. SO far as
general duilness is concerned the situa-
ton to-day is almost exactly the same as
last August; but the record of the past
two months is very different from that Of
the summer of 1886 At no time this
season has there been any decided stir
in the eastern markets. Manufactur-
ers in pursuing the hand-to-mOuth pol
icy st present are merely sustaining tbs If
previous record. Orders for lightweight
goods have not yet been taken to any ex-
tent, and therefore no haste to buy
material. Large lots of wool cannot be
moved without liberal concessions, and
concessions the holders as rule are not
inclined to offer. What business is done
accordingly is merely the filling of nearby
requirements. Apart from this, both
sides ere waiting for something to turn
up. While most descriptions of wool are
quiet and weak, quotations are no lower
than the last of July.
In the country the excitement which
prevailed month ago, in sharp contrast
with the seabeard markets, has die out
Present holders, unless forced by lack Of
meausto sell, are generally disposed to
keep their stock for future developments.
IN many instances this is the only posi-

losses The news from London indicates

sion of section four, and against al

as an instance that the charges from

THE "ToRpIp LIVER" MYTH. An
other silly notion that is widely
prevalent is that relative to inaction
of the liver. The term "torpid liver"
is in every ones mouth, and is held to
account for every bad feeling, whether
it be due to excess in eating or drink
ing, late hours, lack of muscular ex.
ercise, excitement over bad ventures
on the market or other form of dissi-
patton. The liver is quite an impor.
tant organ, and has much to do with
the secondary processes of digestion
those which go on after the stomach
and pancreas have done their work
but it is innocent of most of the sins
laid at its door. The bile is manu-.
featured in large amounts daily, but
we know positively of but few uses
to which it is put in the body, and
OF still fewer drugs that are able tc
increase the daily output. If we
were certain that we could, at will
stimulate this huge gland to secrete
moro bile, it is very uncertain that
any benefit would result from
"arousing it from its torpor."

BED OF THE OCEAN.--the bed OF
the ocean, says foreign writer, is to
an enormous extent covered with
lava and pumice stone. Still more
remarkable is it to find the floor of
the ocean covered in many parts with
the dust of the meteorites. These
bodies whirl about in the heavens
like miniature comets, and are for the
most part broken into innumerable
fragments. We are all familiar with
the heavenly visitants as shooting
stars, but it has been only lately dis
covered that this cosmetic dust forms
layers at the bottom of the deepest
seas. Between Honolulu and Tahiti,
at depth of 1850 fathoms-over
two miles and half-a vast layer OF
this material exists. Falling upon
land this impalpable dust is indistin.
goishable, but accommodating for cent.
uries in the sea depths, it forms a
wondfous story of continuance bonn.
oardment of this planet by cometary

why the knights OF Labor Oppose In
dulrence In Intoxfcants-

dulrence In Intoxicants-
We advocate temperance because
we believe in the principle that I'M
derlies all progress from lower to Q
higher plane Of existence-the integ-
rity of the individual.
No one can be ignorant OF the close
union that exists between the physic-
al, the mental and the moral constitu-
ton. No one can be ignorant of the
degrading influence of intosicants
upon the physical and moral man.
The effect of beer and liquor is to
produce disease OF the nerve centres.
If these become impaired they con-
vey false and wrong impressions to
the brain, as we'll as paralyze the
motor or moving agents of the body.
In short they tell lies. The truth is
not in them. They convey false in
tslligence and destroy reason. The
drunkard believes his devoted wife
his enemy and beats her to death.
The love he bears his child is turned
to hate, and he turns her naked into
the winter storm.
Intoxicants gradually undermine
the m oral integrity and leave the
victim open to every temptation.
Once the barrier is weakened that
guards the path Of truth and
rectitude the man falls an easy
prey to vice.
The man who lives temperate,
honest life lends his influence to
build up a higher degree of sivili-
cation, and to create that centre
from which radiates those virtues
which lend a charm to existence, a
happy home.
These are few of the reasons
why we advocate temperance, and
no one can look abroad without
viewing the crime, degradation, muir.
der, theft, that prevail in the pre-.
cincts OF saloons. We want to see
every member of the Knights of La.
Dor living out the best. the trues,
thoughts and impulses God bestowed
